What is a BTU?
A BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
How does insulation affect BTU?
Poor insulation requires more BTU because heat escapes faster. Good insulation reduces the BTU needed by up to 40%.
